Shaina is struggling with jealousy and insecurity. She doesn't have the same talents as her older brother, so she feels like there's something wrong with her. That is, until she goes through an incredible transformation.
Many kids struggle with comparing themselves to others and feeling like they have to be like someone else to be special, validated, or good enough.
But the truth is that we all have unique gifts and talents that should be embraced, and our different abilities create diversity.
This book takes children on a journey of self-discovery and empowers them to focus on using their own gifts rather than envying the gifts of others.
The book includes a cute story paired with vibrant illustrations, followed by thoughtful discussion questions to help children process their feelings of jealousy and replace those feelings with acceptance and self-love. Find out how Shaina makes her transformation.
The author, Shamirrah Hill, is a former K-12 creative arts teacher who enjoys helping children discover their gifts and talents. She is also a publishing coach who helps children and adults become published children's book authors.
This book was written to empower children to acknowledge and walk in their greatness and shine so brightly that they need not envy anyone else's light.

This book really hit close to home for me in healing from insecurity. It’s a good book not only for children, but as a reminder to adults that we all have both special God-given gifts inside of us so we are all special in our own unique way. At the end of the day focusing on what we have and trusting that we are all loved, valued, and accepted is key to living a fulfilling and successful life of contentment. 🎉🤗❤️
Absolutely loved this book for my children! The beauty of gifts and confidence is so well written, and is easy for a child to digest. The images, colors and artwork are so pretty and really capture your eyes throughout the entire story.
This story encourages kids to be exactly who they were created to be; to love themselves, and to remember that they are loved by family.
I highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to share with their kids what it means to have gifts and how to express them in the world.
I loved reading this book to my kids! Not only is it a great story but the illustrations are so beautiful! I love being able to show a healthy black family to my kids and with different hair styles. Representation matters! This book is 5 stars across the board!
Amazing book! I love the concept behind it!
